14 minutes ago - by Steve Reed - CB Hogan says he's ready to play

CB Brandon Hogan, who practiced for the first time Wednesday, said he feels ready to play. "I’ve just been listening to the doctors and what they’ve been telling me to do," said Hogan, who has been on PUP. "I think (the coaches) were anxious to get me out there and I was anxious to get out there." Panthers RapidReports

Wish we had more details on their first impressions of how he looked today.

Cool, thanks! I'm really excited about his potential and think he's got shutdown corner ability long-term but, I'm trying to temper my expectations for this year because I just don't know if he'll be himself 100% coming back this quickly from an ACL.

why wouldn't people do this in regard to our entire team? is there really a rational reason to ignore one aspect and approve of another in exactly the same situation?

Can't imagine he's anywhere near football shape and ready to play... which means he'd be vulnerable to injuries if we stuck him out there right now. You also have to be careful about him playing before he's ready and getting totally abused, which could damage his confidence.

I've addressed why I'm the way I am about our team in other threads, but to put it concisely in relation to Hogan's case...

The team didn't come into the year with a blown out knee. Each year is a clean slate IMO. Like I've said before, I knew Cam would be good immediately, so I felt it was realistic to win games as well, so I approach the year and each week expecting to win until we knock ourselves out of contention.

Can't be any worse than what we have at #2 right now...man it would be amazing if he could show potential of being a longterm player here as a starter, that would eliminate CB from our draft needs.

I think we're potentially set at CB long-term as we stand. If Hogan comes in and shows out, we already got Butler and Munnerlyn, who are both really good in different areas, although I think Butler is the better overall player and starter worthy.

Just listened to Rivera's comments on Hogan and he said he's "excited" to have him out there, said Hogan looks good and shows those "flashes" of why they drafted him. He said Hogan looks explosive coming out of his breaks, just needs to get back to getting his confidence up and refresh his technique.

Sounds like he's gonna get activated from the PUP, but I doubt it happens this week.

I think so too regarding us being set at CB, but we need to get him some extended playing time before the end of the year, so we know what we have going into the draft.

If CB could be crossed off the list of needs, it would be a great plus for the defense going forward.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Some people will shift the goal posts but he does still have to consistently help the team win, eventually. Not only help but be the reason. That's what franchise QB's do.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      One of the Carolina Panthers' newest defenders thinks their pass rush can go from worst to first. ESPN's David Newton recently chatted with outside linebacker Pat Jones II, who signed with the Panthers as a free agent earlier this offseason. Jones comes over from an awfully impressive Minnesota Vikings defense—one that ranked first in takeaways (33), fourth in sacks (49) and second in QB pressure rate (44.4 percent) this past season. And despite a historically-bad campaign by Carolina's defense in 2024, the 26-year-old seems to believe his new unit can be similar—or even better—than his last. "I definitely think we could do something similar, if not better," Jones said, via Newton. "I've seen it before, so I know what it looks like. I look around the building and see we have exactly what it takes to do that." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/24/panthers-pat-jones-vikings-espn/83840667007/?taid=683219b347846900018fa10a&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter     It's the offseason.  Let hope spring eternal. (actually, I think we are much closer than this board thinks)

      5 total TDs against the Falcons was pretty good efficiency and he showed that ability to go off scripts and get 2 of those TDs rushing.  How many times did he deliver big time throws against pressure.  I agree we need to see this offense operate at high efficiency which starts with Bryce. When he does I hope the goals posts won’t shift to some other stat like QB sneaks lol
